Chapter 758 Liao Kingdom Mission Arrives in Beijing
Chapter 758 The Liao delegation arrives in Beijing
"The incident happened so suddenly that no one received the news in advance, and Miao Fengye and others did not have time to say anything."
Zhao Xuanji asked expressionlessly: "Are there any other ministers or military generals in Beijing who were arrested?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "I haven't received any news about this yet. There is only an accident in Dongchang."
After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, Zhao Xuanji said: "Put aside what you are doing for a while, lurk for the time being, and don't make any more trouble. We will wait until the Liao people arrive."
The middle-aged man replied respectfully: "I obey, little man."
For the next period of time, the situation in the capital fell into a strange calm.
Zhao Xuanji stared closely at Donggong's actions. The previous deaths of Miao Fengye and others in Dongchang aroused his great alarm, and he began to wonder if what he had plotted was exposed.
However, after continuous observation for a period of time, the people Zhao Xuanji contacted were always safe and sound.
Several of them have also been transferred to positions with more real power.
This made Zhao Xuanji suspicious. Was the death of Dongchang Miao Fengye and the others just a simple coincidence?
But what made him uneasy was that the more than 10,000 people brought back by Su Pingbei were always stationed outside the capital in the Yulin Guards' camp.
Even the best of the more than a thousand elites have stayed in Dongchang and have not moved anywhere.
It was absolutely unreasonable for the local troops to stay in the capital, but with Li Chen's acquiescence, it just happened.
Fu Yuzhi had proposed in the morning meeting that Su Pingbei's troops should evacuate the Gyeonggi area, at least not stay in the capital, but Su Zhenting directly blocked them.
It seems that Su Zhenting insists, but anyone with a discerning eye can see whose intention is behind it.
It is precisely because of this that, in addition to the breathless political pressure, there is also a hint of suspicion of a civil war storm in the sky above the capital.
Days like this lasted for nearly half a month.
In the past half month, Zhao Xuanji has almost turned the entire Gyeonggi area upside down, but he has never found the whereabouts of Zhao Tailai.
This caused the fire of hope in his heart to gradually extinguish, and he had to face a problem he least wanted to face.
Was Zhao Tailai kidnapped by someone, or even suffered an accident, or was Zhao Tailai aware of something and ran away in advance?
Zhao Xuanji himself is inclined to the former.
He knew his son very well, let alone whether he had the ability to know his plan in advance. Even if he knew it in advance, he would never be able to withstand such an intense search.
Zhao Tailai disappeared as if he had evaporated from the world, making Zhao Xuanji, who was already anxious, even more anxious.
There is less than half of the time given to him by King Wen. If he cannot hand over the person when the time is up, King Wen's thunderous methods will soon fail.
At this time, Zhao Xuanji absolutely did not want to face the two-sided attack from the East Palace and King Wen.
So while he continued to increase his efforts to find Zhao Tailai, he also began to prepare for the worst situation.
Until this day.
People from the Liao Kingdom have arrived in the capital.
No matter how tense the relationship between the two countries is, and how embarrassing this meeting is, the Liao Kingdom has officially arrived, and Da Qin, as the host, must send someone out to welcome him.
Li Chen chose Su Zhenting and Tantai Jingzhi.
These two people are enough regardless of their status and status.
The most suitable candidate, Zhao Xuanji, was rejected by Li Chen with one vote.
In the morning of this day, Su Zhenting and Tan Tai Jingzhi met and came to the guest reception pavilion outside the capital to greet the Qin Empire's centuries-old enemy, the Liao Dynasty envoy.
